CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DO NOT LEAVE WATER IN THE KETTLE AFTER USE, BECAUSE

THIS ACCELERATES THE DEPOSIT OF SCALE

TO CLEAN YOUR KETTLE

n Unplug it. n Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.

Never immerse the kettle, its base, the power cord or the plug in water: the electrical connections and the switch must not come into contact with water.

Do not use scouring pads. TO CLEAN THE FILTER (fig. 5) n The removable filter is made of a fabric that holds the particles of scale and prevents them from falling into your cup when pouring. This filter does not treat or remove the scale from the water. It thus preserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter saturates very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, run it under the water, and if it is dry, brush it gently. Sometimes the scale does not come off easily: you need to carry out a descaling process. DESCALING n Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month, more often if your water is very hard. IFU_KR_KETTLES_PRECISION_NC00017283_Mise en page 1 01/06/10 14:21 Page14English

Follow the instructions on the packet. n Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary TO DESCALE YOUR FILTER: n Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
